Are you sure about the public domain thing ?  The license is here:
    http://openwatcom.org/ftp/install/license.txt

I forgot to mention that the Open Watcom compilers are released for the 
following platforms: DOS, Linux, OS/2, and Win32.  A Win64 fork and port 
is being worked on at:
    https://open-watcom.github.io/
